Specs, explained

Power: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid; drive: all-wheel drive. It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

At 8.8 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 26 litres of fuel. On electricity alone it is rated for about 644 km before the gas engine takes over. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $13.64 at our price setting.

How big it is

The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic. Measured bumper to bumper, it is 4.68 m. It fits most condo and driveway spots.

When the Q5 makes sense

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

Renting: the basics

If you are 18 or over and hold an Ontario G2 or G licence, you can rent. Drivers under 26 pay a young driver fee for each day, shown on each car's page. You show your original licence and your card when we hand you the keys.

You need one of three things in place for damage to the car: OPCF 27 on your own policy, a credit card that covers rentals, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Each car's deposit is listed on its page, so you know it before you ask. We check your licence and identity before we confirm, the same way for every renter.

Requesting a car

Every rental begins with a request from you. It costs nothing and it does not hold the car. We check the calendar and your details, then send you an offer with the total. If the offer works for you, approve and pay to confirm. If not, you owe nothing.

Every car has its own daily, weekend, weekly and monthly rate. A week or more is priced at the weekly rate, from 7 days. A pickup can be as soon as 2 hours after your request, when the car is free.

Still deciding?

A request costs nothing, and the offer tells you everything.
